Your exclusive tour begins with a trip to Zegna’s Global Store in Milan’s legendary Quadrilatero della Moda for a glimpse of the latest collection and an exclusive fitting in the Su Misura boutique. After a lunch of traditional cucina milanese, join your expert driver for the journey through the Piedmont hills to the charming sport and wellness hotel Albergo Bucaneve. In the hotel’s wellness center – with exclusive use upon request – you’ll be able to indulge in a wide range of treatments based on the healthful Höbe Pergh hay from the Asiago plateau and soak in the hot tub made from Nordic spruce that recently debuted on the panoramic terrace. For dinner, take a seat in the traditional wood-paneled dining room to enjoy a tasting menu featuring Executive Chef Giacomo Gallina’s take on traditional local delicacies and sample Piedmont’s finest DOC wines guided by the hotel’s resident sommelier.
After a restful night and the Bucaneve’s legendary breakfast, visit the nearby Smiling Forest for a unique glimpse of the woods Ermenegildo himself helped to reforest as part of his “green philosophy” and a powerful reminder of his belief that nature profoundly benefits our health and well-being.
